\"Future manned submersibles\" from these idiots sounds unlikely. They
should have tested it to 8000 meters.

\"Designed and manufactured by OceanGate, the Titan is made up of carbon fiber and titanium alloy and is the world\'s largest submersible of the same type. \"
Was.

I\'d expect that carbon fiber is strong in tension, which is what a
pressurized airplane or a hydrogen tank needs. But in compression? You
seem the same effect in wood, stronger in tension than compression
because it can buckle.
And how does fiber in tension resist a force perpendicular to its surface. Reports say it\'s 5 inches thick.
That\'s just basic statics. Read a sophomore text book on the topic. They should have a good example of analyzing an I-beam. > Same concept.

Perhaps closer to the real situation there is plenty of analysis of Euler instability
in cylindrical structures. For example:

That\'s loading on a long solid cylinder. The more likely failure mode
of the sub was radial collapse of a long, relatively thin-wall hollow
cylinder from external pressure.

We just had a deck rebuilt. One side is tied to a header on the house
and the two outside corners are supported by long 4x4 wood posts. The
failure mode of the posts would be buckling, so I researched that.

How high up in the air is that thing that you should be concerned with \"buckling\"??? A 4 ft 4x4 spf is good for over 14,000 lbs compression. That drops to less than 4,000 lbs for a 10 ft length. The 10 ft post as a structural element just looks funny. There\'s a document called the National Design Specification that shows how to make things like composite structures such as using 4x4 to make an 8x8 column, in a structurally sound way. Wood is an imperfect material, so moments develop internally to create bending, warping and failing.
The deck might weigh 1000 lbs (1100 with my skinny wife) and each post
gets about 1/4 of that.

The 4x4s are about 12 feet long, but they pass through a lower deck,
which should supress buckling. The span between decks is 7 feet.
Should be fine.

There\'s a giant steel bracket at each top end, which will resist
twisting forces associated with buckling, even better.

The real hazard with decks is rot, and these are pressure-treated, not
sitting in dirt or anything.

There are houses around here, on steep hillsides, that are supported
by insanely long skinny posts on the downhill side. It\'s terrifying in
earthquake country. I\'ll take some pics next hike in the canyon.

Most of the deaths in our 1989 earthquake were the upper-deck
collapsed freeway in Oakland. It had won architectural awards for the
delicacy of the concrete supports.

Those 4x4\'s aren\'t even going to know they\'re loaded.

If it\'s a permitted job by a licensed contractor then it\'s totally code compliant and shouldn\'t be a problem.

That doesn\'t mean it will be pretty. Several thousand years ago the Greeks discovered an optical illusion when viewing their columns from a distance. And that is the center appears skinny relative to the ends. They overcame this by fattening them up in the middle, and the technique has been used ever since.

Here\'s a few pic from my hike.

What\'s scary is that a lot of these hillsides slid, and trees tumbled
down, in our recent rains.

Our house is on a pretty steep hill, but it\'s dug into the rock, not
on skinny stilts.

\"In a 2022 dive to the Titanic, one of the thrusters on the Titan was
accidentally installed backwards and the submersible started spinning
in circles when trying to move forward near the sea floor. As
documented by the BBC documentary Take Me to Titanic, the issue was
bypassed by steering while holding the game controller sideways.\"

The whole thing sounds more and more like a mentor-less undergraduate engineering group project where nobody knows what
they\'re doing.

And the leader, the lost Stockton Rush, was a thrill seeker. He was
also very impatient. For some people, dancing at the edge of death is
a sport.

Sadly, some significant number of these deaths were guilty of no crime
other than being relatively gullible and susceptible to right-wing
propaganda:

well I did not get any anti-covid shots
Never had a cold

Where were you going so often around other people prior and during
Covid, anyway? IIRC you\'re retired and judging by your software-related
posts you don\'t get out much in the first place.

That\'s not implying any aspersions on the quality of your work, but I\'m
just sayin\'.

But many many died from heart failure and had brain damage from blood cloth that were guided by the Pharmaceutical Industrial
Complex shots commercials.
Of course I died too, went to \'effen, and was not allowed in because I did not have the 4 (I think it was) shots,
so went to that place down below, but the boss there did not want any competition.
So I jam here.,
You are a puppet on a string

If you\'re looking for entirely ethical fashions of consumption under
global neoliberal capitalism you\'ll be hard-pressed to find one. Just
about every industry has an \"Industrial Complex\" and a PR division
trying it\'s damnedest to move product and bring maximum value to its
shareholders above all else, what else is new.

millions have been hurt by covid shots...
Some of those companies have even been forbidden now they found out they made dangerous crap.
Of course I will die too... WW3 .. airbase here makes a good target, or just from boredummies
Hide under the table ;-)

Incidentally, at the start of the Eisenhower administration there were
about 200 nuclear weapons in the US arsenal, as compared to 10,000+ at
the end of his two terms.

Despite crowing about the hazards of the \"military industrial complex\"
in his farewell address, there\'s little evidence he did much of
substance to oppose it during his tenure. It\'s definitely killed a
millions since then, maybe about ten times as many as Covid killed and
hundred thousand times as many as vaccines did. But opposition to it in
the US tends to be spotty at best, maybe once it consumes 90% of the
budget something will change..

My elementary particles will then become part of you all.
People are mostly water .. so evaporation, rain, there you go, better get an umbrella!
Deep state....
LOL

Yes, you are a strange person.

Yes, different from you earthlings,
I\'ve read you earthlings are delivered by Storks
I would have remembered that, and am too heavy for that anyways.
NASA has spotted flying cup and saucers .. a more likely way ..
As to the Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex: Fauci created covid
and that then set in motion the big gov funded sales.

Yes, Eisenhower sort of supported the Military complex as it created jobs that ended the great depression.
Would be better to create and repair infrastructure and pay the workers with dollars you print.
Nixon decoupled the US dollar from gold.. inflation, gold price over past 20 years alone rose 450 percent...
https://goldprice.org/live-gold-price.html

Anyways, something is seriously wrong with US, I was reading this just now:
https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/06/the-mars-sample-return-mission-is-starting-to-give-nasa-sticker-shock/

One can do it for less I am sure.

Oh been around many people and had all sort of people working around the house, some used mouth caps, some obviously had
severe cold symptoms.
But I personally do not know anybody here who died of covid.
Now this part of the country scores a lot better than the big cities, has cleaner air next to the sea...
But how much fear mongering is part of the sales force song?

Most have acquired natural immunity.
Last time I was sick was after I drank a dirty cup of coffee on Central Station in Amsterdam in the eighties,
had to throw up all day long, skip a day at work, next day OK again, in the eighties...
And I got a tick byte and used antibiotics a few years back against a red spot on my arm.
That is it...
Been all over the world, in all sort of circumstances, in the wild too.
Probably know \'merrica better than many hillbillies.
hehe
well it was fun.
Survival skills and experience may come in handy when it rains nukes and society as we know it ceases to exist.
Everybody and their cat has nukes these days.
